David Brooks: A Republican senator put ‘his hand on my inner thigh’ for a ‘whole’ dinner party.

lol TMI, David!

Thinkprogress:


Earlier this week, New York Times columnist David Brooks wrote about how “the dignity code” has been “completely obliterated” in Washington, DC. Discussing the concept on MSNBC yesterday, Brooks recalled how he “sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time”:

BROOKS: You know, all three of us spend a lot of time covering politicians and I don’t know about you guys, but in my view, they’re all emotional freaks of one sort or another. They’re guaranteed to invade your personal space, touch you. I sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time. I was like, ehh, get me out of here.

HARWOOD: What?

BROOKS: I can only imagine what happens to you guys.

O’DONNELL: Sorry, who was that?
BROOKS: I’m not telling you, I’m not telling you.

Brook should have done an "excume me politely" or excused himself to the restroom if he couldn't do that.....what little whimp is he?

Yeah, but it makes you wonder which Republican leader had a "brokeback" sampling to Brooks' thigh?

Seriously, the Repub or any political party would have been knocked out if a look, a knowning wink, a dazzling smile, a brush, reaching for the last dinner roll and mistakenly touch me, and so on. But, that tells you a lot about Brooks' character.

Brooks should have snapped the guy's fingers.

OK you guys here's the deal. Brooks was either gay, scared or the Senator was one of the Powerful ones. No person man or woman is going to let someone put their hand there unless they want them to. Brooks has sucked up to the GOP for 8 years and now it's pay back time for a Senator. Brooks better watch his back and even going to the men's room. Look many Law Makers are closet Gays because notice how everyone covered up for Mark Foley for all those years.
Let one of those Law Makers try touching the cat and you'll see a man with one leg.
